Refurbishments Abounds

Bwogger Sara Vogel points us in the direction of the Housing website, where there is a list of all summer dorm renovations. “We cannot guarantee projects or timing,” it warns. Anyway, we are excited!

Three lucky apartments in Woodbridge (right) are getting an environmentally-conscious makeover, complete with Energy Star appliances and lighting and Forest Stewardship Council-certified furniture and flooring.

McBain’s getting a new elevator and it — along with the existing elevator — is going to be remodeled after the “sleek” new elevators in Hartley.

Oh, and remember last summer when the north side of Ruggles was renovated? Kind of? Oh good, because the south side is currently undergoing the same renovations “to replicate the same look and feel as the rest of the building.”

All Schapiro lounges were renovated and decked out with new furniture, carpet, paint, appliances and flat screen TVs.

And perhaps the grand prize winner of all this is Broadway, which is now 100% wireless. Plus the bedrooms in floors 10-13 were stripped of their carpeting and given handsome hardwood floors.

I lived in wien for two years, it really is not that bad. The singles are nice and big, as the same for many of the walk through doubles. The location is convenient, as Amsterdam kicks ass. They fixed the doors fixing most of the noise problem, and the sinks in the rooms are insanely convenient (and I personally don't know anyone who pissed in them despite what everyone says). If you are facing east on a higher floor you have an amazing view. There is a new computer lab and laundry room so you can't complain about those anymore. The showers look like shit but are large and have amazing water pressure.

Really the only things that you can complain about are the lack of lounges and air conditioning.
